  • Why Solarpunk is already happening in Africa

    Jump

  • It costed nothing to say Kenya instead of Africa and Solar power revolution instead of solarpunk

    While the funds pour in, yes, startup are so nice, let’s see this fully integrated vertical stack with sensor for remote shut down how evolves with time…

    The same article could be done with the fediverse “solarpunk is already happening on the internet” or whatever good thing is happening in the world

    Sorry I just feel like the author is sugar coating a startup, a bit de-politicizing solarpunk and looking down on Africa complexity e_e

    Still an interesting read

  • What are y'all thoughts on Communes?

    Jump

  • well, it depends on the culture of the commune but let's skip this and i'll just focus on commune as a tool

    if it's used as a tool for escapism, good but it will never scale and ''everyone should be in one'' it's just impossible

    if, like i dream, it's used as a tool to offload work of a group of people to allow them to make better politics because being much more resilient to capital swings, cool af u.u

    obviously it's not binary and what i described it's not even a model with 2 opposites, but i wanted to focus on these cases

    weird in betweens like project kamp are very interesting but I still think they focus too much on the being indipendent rather than using the commune as a tool for "greater" scope.

  • Not having admins spamming would already solve half of that issue lol

  • To use bonfire, to be even more local (me and the other admin actually live in the same province) and because apparently my social circles are too attached to telegram to post in the open web questions that they can make in our shared groups

    Oh and because the main community that should have moved changed idea, so no more being the focal point for political organization in the Italian landscape

    Also there is a bug in my ear that keeps repeating that we should just embrace this dark forest internet moment and hide in chat groups like everyone else

  • missing lemmy instances?

    Jump

  • AniSocial got the same issues as EuropePub: ton of noise, 0 purposes and discussion.

    Even just having the thread to discuss latest one piece chapter would be enough

    I made a telegram group to have similar results but it’s still a bit annoying that no one in the open social world wants to fight the trend of hiding into chat groups e-e

  • yep, we have tons of news posting but few discussion i agree

  • Adding servers is not going to help the signup issue, it will just make it worse

    Other similar servers yes, more themed ones i don't think so...

    what marketing?? there is none for the fediverse

    Ye that's a problem. Marketing as in market of mental space not as in ''buy this one''

    someone jumped the gun on community creation

    Yep, exactly why i feel hesitant partecipating in some subs :o

    You are right that problably there is not enough interest, but not that someone shouldn't try anyway u.u

    Jump

  • Kinda agree but I’m not so sure about the egg or the chicken first

    Belonging is very important and there is clearly a dominant techie culture in generalistic instances right now

  • missing lemmy instances?

    Jump

  • slrpnk is a themed instance 😃 (also lemmini, even tho we may close it soon and then make a very local one)

    I made the list for “hey look there are opportunities if you want the threadiverse to shine”

    No pressure

  • missing lemmy instances?

    Jump

  • No but forums work (or don’t if not shared enough) because they have a purpose

    With too many generalistic instances you get:

    • login paralysis not knowing where to sign up
    • bad “””marketing””” because it’s harder to differentiate
    • kinda flat culture? I mean every generalistic instance right now it’s mostly techies…
    • centralization
    • lack of curation because no sense of ownership and belonging

  • ''about'' is usually always ''about us'' innit?

    btw on the homepage you also got screenshots

    the thing is, bonfire is not a single software like mastodon or lemmy, ideally is more like wordpress for platforms

    Jump

  • Then someone could say that foss is too much, better go open source and then the environment will have to take care of the stuff that basic licenses won’t take care of

    I’d rather strive for the better and look for copyfarleft licenses

  • /r/buyfromEU "Europe keeps building social apps no one wants", "No "pick your fediverse server,” no confusion. It’s one big centralized thing, and that’s part of why posts can go viral"

    Jump

  • I agree with some of the points of the original thread:

    • having Twitter clone or Instagram clone but decentralized kinda sucks no matter how you put it and it’s probably not mass sustainable

    On the other hand… Lemmy is just a forum that can connect to other forums. You don’t find cool subreddits searching for them, the good ones are the ones recommended by other people, usually not by search. The fediverse actually suffers from having a big user base that wants Reddit/twitter/insta but decentralized instead of having small forums/microblogs connected to each other. Also the reason why you see me often advocating for less “generalized instances” and wanting more vertical focused ones. This is easily possible with lemmy dividing by topic and with mastodon dividing by localization.

    If you want the fedi to thrive, build lemmy instances focused on being a stand alone forum first and mastodon ones focused on being local first (same for mobilizon)

  • Bro stop with this mindset

    The world is not so simple and people cannot even imagine the amount of stuff Orban chooses on a daily basis. It would surprise me even if a single voter was aware and agreed on every single thing Orban does and says honestly.

    This applies to every representative democracy obviously.

  • Se ai dev open source interessasse sviluppare per non tecnici avresti ragione, ma così non è

    E infatti l’open non mi pare che fermi Google dal fare le schifezze, sia sotto un punto di vista etico sia di controllo dello sviluppo tecnologico

    L’open source e il foss non bastano, mettiamoci una pietra sopra
